Image
To give someone a piece of your heart, is worth more than all the wealth in the world.
Michael Jackson
Image
I know a tree feels it when the wind blows through it. It probably goes, 'Chhhhhh, this is wonderful.' And that's how I feel when I'm singing some songs. It's wonderful.
Michael Jackson
Image
You can't hurt me, I found peace within myself.
Michael Jackson
Image
The actor's tense, he's being taped and things are not falling naturally. That's what I hate about Boadway. I feel like I'm giving a whole lot for nothing. I like to capture things and hold them there and share them with the whole world.
Michael Jackson
Image
In my business you cant trust anyone because you dont know whos your friend. Becoming successful means you become a prisoner
Michael Jackson
Image
I'm a gentleman, call me old fashioned if you want.
Michael Jackson
Image
Loyalty is such a rare quality but my fans are the most loyal in the world.
Michael Jackson
Image
Creatures crawl in search of blood to terrorize your neighborhood. And whosoever shall be found without the soul for getting down, must stand and face the hounds of hell, and rot inside a corpse's shell.
Michael Jackson
Image
That's what's great about show business. It's escapism. You pay your five bucks to get in and sit there and you're in another world. Forget about the problems in the world. It's wonderful.
Michael Jackson
Image
I'm going to search for my star until I find it. It's hidden in the drawer of innocence, wrapped in a scarf of wonder.
Michael Jackson
Image
I want my work to help people rediscover the child that's hiding in them.
Michael Jackson
Image
I love performing. It's a phenomenal getaway. If you want to really let out everything you feel, that's the time to do it.
Michael Jackson
Image
There are two kinds of music. One comes from the strings of a guitar, the other from the strings of the heart.
Michael Jackson
Image
Wherever you go - in every country, or in every continent, people yearn and hunger for only one thing, to love and be loved. Love transcends international boundaries and heals the wounds of hatred, racial, prejudice, bigotry and ignorance. It is the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.
Michael Jackson
Image
I think the actor or performer should be - to touch that truth inside of a person. Touch that reality so much that they become a part of what you're going and you can take them anywhere you want to.
Michael Jackson
Image
My idea of magic doesn't have much to do with stage tricks and illusions. The whole world abounds in magic.
Michael Jackson
Image
I love movies and I love art - and an architect is an entertainer, the guy who builds a rollercoaster is an entertainer. He knows where to build the slopes, and the big anticipation when you go up... He makes you go, 'Oh my God!' when you get to the top before you come down. It's just the same as structuring a show or a dance.
Michael Jackson
Image
To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your veins. Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music?
Michael Jackson
Image
Love is the human family’s most precious legacy. Its richest bequest. Its golden inheritance.
Michael Jackson
Image
I love experienced people. I love people who are phenomenally talented. I love people who've worked so hard and been so courageous and are the leaders in their fields. For me to meet somebody like that and learn from them and share words with them -to me that's magic.
